MATH 4020 - Mathematical Modeling

This course is an introduction to mathematical modeling. The major goal of this course is to learn about the formulation and solution of mathematical problems from real world situations. Representing practical and scientific problems in mathematical terms may give a better understanding of the problem and may allow prediction of future events. Case studies will involve different applications and will use a variety of techniques. Computer programs will be used to analyze some problems. A writing project involving a mathematical model is required of all students.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: MATH 3740 and working knowledge of a high-level mathematical computer package or knowledge of a computational computer language.

Credits: 3 hours

Notes: This course satisfies General Education Proficiency 2: Baccalaureate-Level Writing.
